I went and got my colors done. I'm pale-skinned and dark blonde with grey-green eyes. I'm still shell-shocked: I'm a light crystalline summer.
All the colors the analyst matched me with are really strange and difficult to find in shops - and also colors I really don't like. Vaguely air-hostessy Eastern European blues, old-lady lavenders, dowdy camels, baby blues and burgundies. I feel frumpy just writing them down. None of my favorite colors (reds, corals) made it to the list (and yes, I like black too). A blue-green was the most wearable one, but I cannot spend my entire life in blue green, can I?
I would otherwise totally ditch the advice, but she did match me with a lipstick color that made me look younger and more alive and also made up my eyes quite cleverly (although in a very 80s Lady Di era style - stone gray and salmon and tile red).
Are you a summer? How do you deal with it? Where do you shop?
